According to USA Carry, with a non-resident FL and UT, it gets you quite a few other states, it's the ones in Blue: https://www.usacarry.com/concealed-carry-permit-reciprocity-maps/

Changes coming again to the 4473 in April 2023. Item 1, Section A is changing now that the ATF created the term “privately made firearms” (PMF) in Final Rule 2021R-05F. The rule was created in response to President Joe Biden’s demand that the ATF regulate so-called “ghost guns. The old Form 4472 had no option for PMFs. Section B is also getting two new disqualifying questions. Answering yes to either question will mean the prospective buyer cannot legally acquire the firearms. https://www.ammoland.com/2022/12/atf-form-4473-changing-next-year/#axzz7nSwXE4AB

The Covid trucker protests didn't go far enough.

Also remember, over the last year or so, due to the shortage of new vehicles, dealers were adding a Market Adjustment to all new vehicles. I saw ranges of +$2500 to +$5000 on top of the MSRP. In that case, the only people buying new vehicles were ones that didn't have any choice and needed the vehicle.

Where's the TV remote for cartoons?

Where should the 2A supporters make this noise?

Have the people had enough yet of this Constitution ignoring administration? Are we living in China now?

I wonder if you'll be able to do this, if your gun is locked in a safe in your car? Police said a 23-year-old woman was sitting in her car shortly after 2 a.m. near 89th Street and Kenwood Avenue, when four men got out of a black sedan, and one of them tried to open her car door while flashing a gun. The woman, who has a concealed carry license, shot that man in the head, then ran off from her car. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/calumet-heights-shooting-attempted-carjacking/

That's why I quoted you. All the laws are absurd. From the processes to apply for permission to buy a firearm with a FID, for the process to apply for permission to buy a handgun with a PTP, for the process to apply for the permission for a PTC, and now talking about installing safes in the vehicle to adhere to the absurd transportation laws. In each of these absurd unconstitutional steps/processes/permissions, gun owners just keep going along with them, when they actually are an individual Right. At what point do gun owners say enough?

My point was, we can get a PTC in other states, that we don't reside in, by just mailing in a piece of paper with basic information on it. No restrictions on which pistol you can carry there. With reciprocity, I can carry in states that I never even sent in any personal information. But this state, that we actually live in, guys are willing to jump through all these unconstitutional hoops, for the hope of carrying to protect themselves. This defies logic.

I don't understand the mental gymnastics here, and jumping through hoops. If you have PTC, you can carry and can quickly access the firearm if needed. Locking it in a safe defeats the whole point of getting a permit for personal protection. Are you going to tell a carjacker, hold on while I open my safe, get out my pistol and pick up the separate mag, then load and rack the slide, then you're ready? Kneeing to these bureaucrats every time, is why we find ourselves in this situation. What happened to Shall not be Infringed? Why are people agreeing to all these barriers to self protection?

Exactly. He said "semiautomatic weapons". That includes just about every rifle and handgun sold today, not just their assault weapons. They're going to go for everything.

My guess, this is what they'll try to pass before the new congress starts. President Joe Biden called the sale of semiautomatic weapons 'sick' and continued to call for an assault weapons ban and better red flag laws The idea that we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick,' Biden told reporters on Thursday 'It's just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers,' he said https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11466323/Biden-makes-Thanksgiving-attack-sick-sale-semi-automatic-weapons.html

"An armed society is a polite society" Go ask anyone who lived during the wild west days, where everyone was open carrying.

Hopefully, or it might end up like the 10 round mag limit and evil features on a assault weapon.

More importantly, what are you watching on TV?

Gmail will let you think your email went through, since you don't get an error, but the messages just get screened/blocked and sent to the dust bin of the Internet. You won't know you're on the Black list.

Yeah, but even then, that list was arbitrary and didn't make sense. Schools: why not parks, playgrounds, amusement parks or any other place kids meet? Also, where have large mass shootings taken place? In schools, because they are gun free. Is anyone thinking? Shouldn't kids be defended too? Court Houses: Why not other office buildings? or Malls? or Stadiums? or other locations people group together? Who decided that only schools, gov buildings and court houses should be sensitive areas? It should either you can carry, or you can't. Politicians deciding on where you can defend yourself is a joke when they have armed guards protecting them. Unfortunately, gun owners keep going along with these unconstitutional laws, versus going back to the intention of the 2A "shall not be infringed". I either want the whole pie, or none at all. Others are happy just getting a slice of it, and that mindset has to end.

Right, but he agreed that it could pertain to historic areas like schools, court houses, etc. What happened to the 2A clause "shall not be infringed". Here is what he said: "Although we have no occasion to comprehensively define “sensitive places” in this case, we do think respondents err in their attempt to characterize New York’s proper-cause requirement as a “sensitive-place” law. But expanding the category of “sensitive places” simply to all places of public congregation that are not isolated from law enforcement defines the category of “sensitive places” far too broadly. The Court’s answer is that judges will simply have to employ “analogical reasoning.” Ante, at 19–20. But, as I explained above, the Court does not provide clear guidance on how to apply such reasoning. " So, he opened the window a little bit, and NY and NJ stormed through it, like an army, with their sensitive lists. I think Thomas should have laid out SPECIFICALLY where the sensitive areas were (or none at all), versus leaving it a bit vague. By leaving it grey, or not going back to the original "shall not be infringed", is why we find ourselves in this situation now, and why the overreach by these certain governors. Thomas should have known, based on current events, that certain states don't honor the constitution, so he should have written his opinion in first grade, clear language, that couldn't be twisted or abused. Any chance he can go back and add a modification or correction to his opinion to help Murphy and Hochul understand better?

Didn't Thomas also give the states the ability to issue sensitive areas too?

I'm just a realist, and look at the facts on the ground. I learned a long time ago, hope is not a strategy. I don't live in a fantasy of "what might be". Past history is a good teacher. Yes, it's great to fight the system, and there are some good groups involved. It's the track record in this state that is very telling. You have to know when to hold them and when to fold them, and where your energy is best expended. I know the mag limit restriction is being punted around in the lower court, but here we are, 4 years later, and still restricted. This should have been an easy one to overturn, but here we are. 4 years running with a easy issue. How long will the CCW sensitive restrictions be punted around in the courts?

For the most part it was for us. Sure, you can apply and get a CCW now which you couldn't before. But, you can't use it in your every day daily life as you travel around the state. So what did you really gain? And I'm not naive to think if a judge overturns the current restriction list, that the Democrats will just throw other unconstitutional restrictions, then wait for those to be challenged. I bet they have plan B, plan C, plan D, etc. already cued up and ready to go, just like they have the 5 round mag restriction waiting in the wings. Like I mentioned, they are the ones who are winning in the big picture. Go scroll up and refer again to the magazine laws. What other unconstitutional or ridiculous laws have been overturned the past decades? I can't think of any. If we can't get a stupid law like the 15 round to 10 round mag limit overturned, does anyone think that the CCW restrictions will ever go away?

I have in other states, by submitting basic personal information, and can carry in like 35 of them (but not NJ). I'm not giving in and playing the game here, out of principle, just so I can carry in the deep woods or walking out to my mailbox. Right... you really think that's going to go anywhere? How are you liking those 30 round, wait 15 round, wait 10 round magazines? That 10 round law went in force four years ago (Oct. 2018). Where are we now? Have we got back our 15 rounders or 30 rounders? Haven't all the 2A groups been fighting like, forever, to overturn these unconstitutional laws? When was the last time the citizens of NJ got a win? So, it's nice you got your CCW here in NJ. The only place, with all the restrictions, you can enjoy it, is on your own property (which was what you could do before you spent the money and jumped through the hoops).
